Recalibrating the Absolute Transmitter using Test Cup type G022S100
When recalibrating the MAS 2600 Absolute Transmitter a pressure calibrator with a range of
-1 to 3.5 bar should be used. It should have an accuracy of 0.05% FS or better, as well as a 4 digit
milliampmeter. If a calibrator without reference transmitter is used, the atmospheric pressure must
be known to calculate the correction.
Atmospheric pressure and Transducer range to be entered into the formulas as mbar.
1. The calibrator with the output selector switch set to pressure mode is connected to
the MAS 2600 transmitter via a Test Cup, type G022S100.
2. Check the transducer range.
The transducer range is indicated on the lid inside the amplifier box.
3. Calculate output signal in conditions of no pressure (atmospheric pressure), using
bellow formula. The output signal should be adjusted to the calculated value on the
zero potentiometer.

4. Calculate the pressure for maximum output signal, using the following formula.
mbarg @ 20 mA =Trd range Atm press . .
Increase the pressure to calculated pressure and adjust the output signal to 20.00 mA on the
span potentiometer.
5. Remove the pressure and check the zero point.
6. Check the linearity at 0-25-50-75 and 100% of the measuring range.
Output signal at different pressures P can be calculated, using the following formula.

Maintenance and Trouble Shooting
Maintenance
Damcos recommends that the following to be checked annually:
1. Visual inspection of the cable, transducer and amplifier.
2. Compare signal with e.g. hand sounding, and if necessary perform a zero and full-scale
calibration.
Trouble Shooting
If the MAS 2600 transmitter is not functioning in accordance with DAMCOS instructions, check
that:
1. the 24 VDC power supply has been correctly connected, and is between 14-33 VDC.
2. the 4 - 20 mA output signal is functioning (compared with e.g. hand sounding).
3. the transducer cable has been correctly fitted and the shield connected to the shield terminal
in the amplifier box.
4. the diaphragm has not been damaged.
If this does not succeed, fill in the test sheet on page 26 and submit this to DAMCOS Service
Department fax no.: +45 5578 7272.
When contacting DAMCOS please specify the serial numbers of both transducer and
amplifier.
The test sheet will be examined to see whether it can be established that the transmitter is broken or
not.
When returning a defective MAS 2600 transmitter for repairs, please ensure that:
The transducer diaphragm is protected against blows of any kind.
Both the transducer and the amplifier are returned.
A detailed description of the fault is enclosed.

V DC
Voltage should be in the range 14 to 33 V DC. Check
power supply.
2 Measure ripple voltage between
terminal 5 and 6

Voltage must not exceed 2 V AC. Check power
supply.
3 Measure sensor excitation voltage
between terminal 7 and 10
V DC Voltage should be in the range 3.0 to 6.2 V DC
4 Measure sensor excitation voltage
between terminal 8 and 9
mV DC Voltage should be in the range -15 to 100 mV DC
5 Measure current in supply lead to
terminal 5 mA DC
Current should be in the range 4 to 20 mA and the
same value as measured in point 6. If not the amplifier
may be defect.
6 Measure current in supply lead to
terminal 6 mA DC
Current should be in the range 4 to 20 mA and the
same value as measured in point 5. If not the amplifier
may be defect.

9 Visual inspection of the transmitter:
Is the cable damaged?
Are there sharp bends on the cable?
Are there moisture/liquids in the breather tube?
Is the diaphragm damaged?
